dangermousieI kept idly toying with the idea of watching The Tudors, for years, off and on.
But I believe I just might have to because I found out they did the story between Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor, Henry's sister (well, they renamed her Margaret even though the real Margaret was Mary's older sis and married to King of Scotland, but it's showtime...).
Ever since I was a much much younger Mousie and read the huge turn-of-the-20th-century bestseller When Knighthood Was in Flower - about Mary and Charles - I have had the world's hugest soft spot for that story. I am actually rather surprised it isn't more popular/well-known/subject of fiction. King's favorite sister, recently Queen of France, marrying the man she wanted against her brother's wishes, is what I'd normally consider a pretty good subject for a romantic tale. But I suppose "and then she died shortly after and he remarried" lacks the true R&J gloss.
But anyway, I've had a huge soft spot for the story for years and years and years and finding out Tudors did address it makes me want to check it out. Someone made a pretty nifty MV about it:
I have to say, I am pretty entertained by all the Tudors MVs, especially the Henry/Anne ones. None of them end with the whole 'he beheaded her' bit.
